12/22 A LOT of vanilla and banana. Sweet. Smooth with no burn. Have to like all the tropical notes but I did. From Philippines. High marks 89 — 2 years ago

Santa Lucia Highlands Pinot Noir 2013

Somehow it looks like I haven’t reviewed this yet despite halfway thru the batch and possibly my favorite ever Pinot?? Powerful fruit on the nose but far more nuanced on the palate - superb expression of the grape. More recent vintages no worse for the (lack of) wear.

Took a chance and bought a few of these at Trader Joe’s. Was worried about the California wildfires of 2020, influencing the flavor of the product, but no Smokey tones are in this batch. Very full bodied and rich, with jam and cherry, and a hint of tobacco. Good purchase! — 2 years ago

How does anyone not hoard (regular) Sazerac at ~$25?!
Incredibly smooth, great sweet note to the finish. Again, why haven't I not been buying this for years...?

(BTW Kirkland Bourbon at $30 is worth the price of admission, earthy oak note on the palate is quite similar to Buffalo Trace.)

Yes to Rye, my ‘go to’ for a category I don’t venture into often.

Surprisingly Eagle Rare 10 is highly allocated this year if you’ve had in the past. One bottle only on K&L

Daniel Bloom

Nice assortment, if I remember correctly,
Kirkland 12 yr scotch is McCallan.

TUN 1509 Batch No. 4 Single Malt Scotch Whisky

Ryan Stewart

9.2

Beautiful honey amber color. Elegant aromas of toffee, caramel, red apple, baking spice, oiled leather, and dried figs. Palate coating mouthfeel. Flavor profile expands upon the above with subtle citrus notes, honeycomb, and bitter chocolate. Water brings out the warmth of cream of wheat and other malted flavors. Long, luxurious finish. Excellent dram! — 4 years ago

Superb. A few years of aging is creating layers of flavor as it becomes more harmonious. The RS is melding with the acid spurs super lush. Boundary Breaks produces the best Riesling. — 2 years ago

Bottled 5/9/2016, Batch No. 002. No grapes in this brett’d saison, but the long aging in 70% French and 30% American oak results in big vinous character. — 4 years ago
